Too busy dashing through malls and last-minute to-do lists to think about holiday table trims?
Not to worry! These quick centerpiece ideas lend a feeling of Christmas to any occasion. They
don’t take time or money you don’t have…just a simple touch of glass.
TAKE THE CAKEfor easy elegance with the simple but stunning display. We bought
fresh tea roses to blossom on a cake stand amid drifts of sparkly mini lights and golden mesh
Begin by setting out some favorite glass pieces where they can catch the holiday lights. Then
haul out the holly, trims and imagination to create sparkling table toppers in a twinkling!
Hosting a gala dinner for family and friends? Red and white tea roses, covered or uncovered,
crown a cake stand in dazzling holiday style.
Here’s how: Place wet floral foam on top of cake stand. Cut rose stems to 3 inches. Insert
stems into foam, covering entire surface. Fill spaces with greenery. Add luster with tiny gold
gift boxes and a swirl of mini lights and gold mesh.
Or welcome guests with a merry trio of ruby goblets a-shine with quiet candlelight and tucked
in holly sprays. Brighten any buffet with a hurricane vase wreathed in colorful berries and
studded with sparkly red and green pears. Fill with a pillar candle and potpourri or
cranberries and popcorn to convey: It’s clearly Christmas!
